Good sustain and tone, clearly a lot better than the zinc saddles that come on many guitars. No string breakage--this is a major improvement. With previous saddles (and I've tried about 4 previous sets) strings broke at the saddle after a few hours of playing. This was a major nuisance at performances. With these roller bridge saddles this problem is solved. On my Chinese-made strat type guitars, distance between high E and low E strings is 2-1/16". This set of roller saddles is just narrow enough to fit, with a slight bit of fanning that does not interfere.

I just received these roller bridge inserts for a MIM Strat I recovered from someone's trash, ha, they look great. This is a project guitar but I have already replaced several of my bridges in my herd with roller bridges. Great upgrade for tune, tone and comfort. I like the contrast of brass rollers on chrome body and the honey cone design cut into the top of the body. Although I haven't installed strings yet, waiting on new, staggered Fender tuners to arrive, I found that all of the set screws worked great and adj. screws are functioning as expected. Depending on where the intonation leads me, I may have to file a little slope behind the rollers before the string enters the tunnels, won't know until I install strings, but I would recommend this upgrade to anyone with an old strat that may need some attention. My Mex Strat has a hard tail bridge configuration but these roller bridges are also great for tremolo/whammy bars. UPDATE: One drawback of these bridges is the Allen screws used to adjust the height of the rollers. They can be uncomfortable if your palm comes in contact with them, a little scratchy. This is not a problem with the roller bridges on the tune-a-matic bridges like Gibson and most Asian made electric guitars as they have a different height control.Read full review

They look great on my MIM Strat and they work great! I just can't believe I found these so cheap! Better get a set now before they raise the price!

I now can be as aggressive on my strat tremolo like I did on a Floyd Rose style trem and it returns perfectly to tune. I couldn't with my old saddles. Will be purchasing for a second upgrade soon!
